Asked about his future in the WWE in April, McIntyre told Digital Spy: "For now I'm concentrating on getting 3MB a tag title shot, but obviously my end goal is getting the world championship! It should be everybody's goal, if it's not your goal you're in the wrong business.

"It feels like I've been around forever, but I did get here when I was very young. I'm still 28. So right now my focus is very much getting 3MB a tag title shot.

"It'll shock the world if we get those tag titles! And then after that, yeah, my focus is one day to become the world champion."

Prior to his time in 3MB, McIntyre was dubbed Vince McMahon's 'Chosen One'. He is a one-time WWE Intercontinental Champion and, with Cody Rhodes, one-time WWE Tag Team Champion.

Following the initial announcement, JTG was later added to the list of Superstars released by the company today.
